Mobilization for artisanal fishing vessels

None of theirs without them! For a place at the table

What is it?

In partnership with WorldFish, we developed and refined a mobilization strategy aimed at assisting artisanal fishers to more effectively represent, communicate and participate their needs in policy and investment deliberations that affect their future.

Challenge

To make visible the important role that fishing communities play in the world economy and in the fight against climate change. Their contribution is direct in the ecosystems in which they are immersed, but their living conditions remain precarious and their capacity to mobilize and defend their rights is not optimal.

Strategy

We created a network of leaders and representatives of artisanal fisherwomen, identified demands and opportunities, and strengthened the capacities of spokespersons and communicators of territorial organizations. We built an advocacy strategy and a communication campaign that brought together the main demands and opportunities of this network.
